Method
Preparation of Meats
- 1
Slice the Meats
Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the prosciutto di Parma, coppa, and mortadella. Arrange the slices on a serving platter in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
Fried Dough (Gnocco Fritto)

Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt. Gradually add the water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let the Dough Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Prepare for Frying
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to about 0.5 cm thick. Cut the dough into squares or rectangles.

Fry the Dough
In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry the dough pieces in batches until golden brown and puffed up, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
